More than one million species of plants and animals are facing extinction.
A report released at a United Nations meeting in Paris says that is all because of humans, and that it's not too late to fix the problem.
The report's 39-page summary highlighted five ways people are reducing biodiversity, including developing forests, grasslands and other areas, overfishing the world's oceans, and polluting land and water.
It says fighting climate change and saving species are equally important, and working on both environmental problems should go hand in hand.
